Tampa Bay Lightening

We’re off to see the Bolts v Flyers ice hockey today.

I welcome advice on where to get a pre game meal and other things to do close to the arena. Face off is 4pm. Planning to get there around 12.

Hope you enjoyed the match. Bolts are on a bit of a good run at the moment.
Interested in what you actually did for a meal and activity before the match. Did you do use Sparkman Wharf at the Channelside as previously suggested?

We went to the bar opposite the arena. Not an exciting menu but we were later than expected with bad traffic on the I4. Great game. Skill level way above the Devils.

Yeah the New Jersey Devils suck. Cardiff on the other hand...
Watched them beat Colorado this morning to set a new Franchise consecutive win record of 11. Hoping they don’t bomb the play offs like they did last year.
Off to see them in 3 weeks and Mrs says I can return to Tampa if they make it to the final in June to sit and watch the games in the community zones 🤞

Do you think the Devils could hold their own in the NHL?

A Steeler from Nottingham !

British Elite Hockey teams would struggle against the Orlando Solar Bears. 😜

I am not, nor will I ever be from Nottingham! I moved there when I fell in love with a Panther!
